You're young, free and single and haven't had sex for the last eleven and a half months. Not only are you pregnant, but to make matters worse the Angel Gabriel and Lucifer turn up on your doorstep claiming parentage...

The Haslemere Thespians are hoping that they've now got your attention! Their latest production is a far cry from their Summer's 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream'. Oliver Lansley's play 'Immaculate' is a laugh-out-loud comic variation on the virgin birth in which a young woman finds her life spiralling into confusion when she wakes up one morning, unaccountably, pregnant. 

Ruth Ahmed is directing the show. She told This is Haslemere, 'I first read 'Immaculate' about four years ago and immediately wanted to have the opportunity to direct it.  It is a great play which, on the surface, seems made up of excellent one-liners within an outrageously funny plot, but it also puts forward ideas to provoke deeper thought. It’s a fantastic vehicle to show the strength of the acting abilities of our local non-professional actors and demonstrates the bravery and intrepid nature of the Thespians to produce a play that other groups might shy away from. There have been a lot of laughs in the rehearsal room, and I can’t wait to see the audience reaction.'

If you, like us, can't wait to see it either, then 'Immaculate' is at Haslemere Hall from 9th - 11th October at 7.30pm.  The show runs for around 90 minutes without an interval. 

Tickets are available from the Haslemere Hall box office
